They (VQ) have never even spoken with Dee so not much there. He hasn't made a decision yet and isn't leaning one way or the other, if anything Florida may lead at the moment as they've made him feel like he'll get to contribute in basketball.

They said UT feels good about it chances, the coaches that is. Not the website, VQ.

Fisher has won a national title. Pruitt is still unproven as a HC. I think he’s going to be good but you can’t say that for sure yet.

Fisher has also ran the program he won a NC with years ago into the ground, and then he got his sorry tail handed to him on a plate by Dabo and Clemson despite having a huge head start..those things happening are just as factual as the NC.

Bias of people because they think we don't get DW is funny. DW is one hell of an athlete at that size. Beckwith is a phenomenal athlete as well, but don't act like DW is only highly regarded because of his size. Watch the highlights. He deserves his 5* rating.

So does Harrison Bailey...nevermind.😎

Not sure if I want him if his heart is not going to be in football. It is a sport especially on this level that you need to love it to have success and if basketball is in his heart then go play it somewhere but give it all your attention.

His heart can be in both.

He's a superb athlete because he plays multiple sports.

You'll be thankful he loves basketball when he's "Mossing" DB's in the endzone

Why are people high on this guy film looks meh and I believe his composite ranking has gone down? Never thought this kid was all that great but would like to know why some thing he is 'elite'.

Can’t speak for everyone but his film looks good to me. Shows good speed, explosion, and balance. Looks very athletic. I can’t help but wonder how his athleticism compares to other guys at least 6’ 5”. I imagine he’s in the top tier. Definitely more athletic than DW.

I agree, watching DW's film he looks kinda slow and he wins alot just based on size. Beckwith on the other hand is only a couple inches shorter and looks way faster and explosive in my opinion. If I remember correctly Beckwith played QB, RB, WR. Let him focus on one position (TE or WR) and I think he can be elite. Just my personal opinion on comparing the two. Still would be thrilled with either one as redzone nightmares

I don't really care what anyone thinks of him but CJP and his staff. If they want him, then I hope he ends up in this class.

His recruitment has been different because he really wants to play basketball. His preference would be a basketball only scholarship at a power 5 school. I think the main reason he didn’t sign in Dec was that he was hoping to get that b-ball offer before NSD rolls around in early Feb, so he’s basically playing a waiting game. Doesn’t seem likely that he will get that b-ball offer though, so his fallback plan would be to take a football scholarship and walk on to the b-ball team wherever he goes.

Thank you, makes sense why hes holding out. Hopefully he will be all in when he signs to play football

He is an excellent athlete who is 6'5. He is not afraid of contact and he is a competitor. Oh, and he can run.

Also, he is playing qb. He is not playing there in college. So what are you looking at that you dont like???

Some see him as a tight end or receiver. I see his biggest upside at OLB, no question.

I agree. Doesn’t hurt we have his brother already here. I think he’s a steal. Could be a dynamic receiver for us at his size and speed & also might factor in at wildcat as well. He even has the body type of a big time SEC receiver. Needs a summer in the strength program, add 15 lbs to his frame. Matchup nightmare a la Alshon Jeffery

Oh you mean the full service gas pumper?
